Cities are more than often monotonous carpets of concrete and buildings. Urban buildings can be architectural marvels.

My intention is to make a contribution to the sociology of intellectual production, […] as well as to analysis of fetishism and magic. There too, you might say, “But why not go and study magic in "primitive” societies, rather than in the Paris fashion scene?“ I think that one of the functions of ethnological discourse …

To be more …
If we pull faces and say that the only moral position is to write off the rioters as thugs and monsters, we’re left with the question of why some communities break out into fire and some do not, why some people’s children are rioting in the streets and some are not. If we eliminate, out …
From Sociological Images: This being the opening weekend for Sex and the City 2, it seems like a perfect time for this video of sociologist Tracy Scott, from Emory University, discussing the cultural impact and contradictions of the SATC franchise (Source: https://www.youtube.com/)
It is important to realize that this Playboy Ideal is a sign of low, rather than high, sexual energy. It suggests that the sexual flame is so faint and wavering that a whole person would overwhelm and extinguish it. Only a vapid, compliant ninny-fantasy can keep it alive. It’s designed for men who don’t really …
